HAPPY FAMILY

HAPPY FAMILY

Dear children of God happy family is the blessed family and being a blessed family to others. Happiness should be not only at the time of fullness but it should be in all circumstances, and all times, and all situations.    Happiness should be present in lack or want or in famine or in drought or in sickness.  We have to learn in whatever situation we are to be content. In any and every circumstance, we have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. Like Paul we have to say that I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Our God is faithful to lead us even in critical situations. World may change, our life style may change but our God who gives happiness in all situations won’t change.

GOD’S PROMISE: - God had promised to give happiness to Isaac and be blessed family.  When he received God’ promise, now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. God counseled Isaac, not to go down to Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands and in your off springs all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Whose family has the presence of God in the family will be happy and blessed in all situations. God is with us in our low estate and abound. So we should not be anxious about our life situation, God will guide through the hard and dry situation. Naomi left the house of bread [Bethlehem] a famine in the land. She sojourned to the land of Moab with fullness. She did not get guidance with lord who leads through the famine. She remained there for ten years, her husband and her two sons were dead. Now she became empty and Mara. But the Lord had visited his people and given them food. God never leave us nor forsake us.

GOD’S PROTECTION: - the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.  Isaac has settled in Gerar. When the men of the place’ asked him about his wife, because she was attractive in appearance. Abimelech king of Philistines looked out of window and saw Isaac laughing with his wife Rebecca. So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Isaac ‘family was happy in the foreign land, and God protected them from their enemies. God of Abraham was with him to protect from all danger situation. They were in the hand of God’s protection so they were very happy.

GOD’S HUNDRED FOLD BLESSINGS: - when Isaac obeyed God’s commandments and laws, God blessed all his works of hands in the famine year. Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundred fold. The Lord blessed him, and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. So he called its name Rehoboth, saying, for now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. Where Isaac had stayed in the land of famine, there God was with him to make him happy and blessed. So he became mightier than the Philistines, and lived happily. The happy family always obeys the voice of God and keeps his commandments. The happy family depends on God for guidance to follow in the difficult situations. A God who called us will lead through the hardship and entirely different situations and he makes happy in our life. From there he went up to Beersheba, and the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham’s sake.

Dear friends the same God of Abraham, God of Isaac is with our family and he makes our family happy. And also he will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go; he will counsel us with his eyes upon us. When we pass through the waters, he will be with us; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm us; when we walk through the fire we shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume us. Fear not he has redeem us; he has called us by name, so let us be happy and rejoice in him. When God be with us in all situations, then our family will be a happy family.
